Porlos: Difference between revisions

| leader_title1          = [[Woqala of Porlos|Woqala]]

Because Porlos is largely inland, the Department of Defense relied mostly on army and air force support. The conflict, more or less, went in favor of Alahuela, but due to the growing issues in Sarpedon around the Great Wars, it was forced to end the campaign to subdue the militia. As a result, on 8 August 1938, the National Congress authorized [[Porlosi Autonomy Act]], granting the people of Porlos the right to govern themselves. For many living in Porlos, PLIAD had painted an idea of prosperity and cooperation, especially between Porlos and Tierrador. While the relationship with [[Ceylonia]] has always been amicable and the independence it would receive 26 years later would be one of the most peaceful in history, the drawback of Cartadania from Porlos was so aggressive and abrupt, that it devastated the new economy. As a consequence of the act, Alahuela nullified all operations in the country and essentially forced all Cartadania-based businesses to withdraw from the country, dealing a bitter blow to the newly formed country. The blowback was so bitter that talks of re-annexation came up multiple times, but Alahuela had turned its sight domestic and essentially cut all ties with the country. Cartadania's Air Force continued to patrol the surrounding airspace of Ormatia, however, and reconnaissance near the border showed the disarray in Porlos, not caused by the combat in San Ysidro, but by optimistic independence.

Despite the devastation of the Porlosi economy following the withdrawal of all Cartadanian economic activites, it would not last for long. In 1940, the newly-founded government of Porlos would eventually be reorganized, with the assistance of the Walakee State under High Woqala [[Satola Sanléc]]. The same government structure that was seen under the Woqalate of Soqweux would be restored as the Woqalate of Porlos, establishing [[Sonta I]] as the first [[Woqala of Porlos]] since 1712. As the return took place, most colonial aspects from Cartadania would slowly be scrapped and replaced with indigenous Cronan influences. This included demoting Cartadanian as an official language and replacing it with Soqweux. Along with the many cultural changes, the Porlosi government also allowed many Tierradorian companies and organization to open subsidiaries within the nation. [[Auqali Lithium]], one of the largest mineral extraction companies in the world, began operations in the country in 1951, boosting the nation's economy by a significant margin.

During the [[Occidental Cold War]], Porlos established a neutral stance, however it was involved in numerous South Cronan conflicts, mostly on the side of Tierrador and Ceylonia. In 1965, the [[Porlosi Defense Force]] sent 350 peacekeeping troops to fight alongside the [[Tierradorian Defense Force|TDF]] in the [[Calico Bay War]]. In late 1965, During the onset of the [[Mosquito War]], the Porlosi government issued an ultimatum to various [[Istrenya|Istrenyan-based]] drug cartels operating within the Porlosi borders to cease all operations within the nation. When the demands were not met, the Porlosi government began a [[Porlosi purge|purge]] in many cities, arresting over 95,000 cartel members, along with an additional 45,000 conspirators, over the span of a few months. Following this, the PDF would send military support to Tierrador in its fight against Istrenya and the cartels. In 1969, Woqala Sonta I was shot and killed by Istrenyan national [[Ka'wole Tatami]], prompting Porlos to officially enter the war against Istrenya. While this involvement did not last long, the PDF managed to halt several of Istrenya's advances and even push further back into key Istrenyan areas. After the [[Dalton Accords]] in 1970, the PDF withdrew its troops from Istrenya.

Woqala [[Furtado II]] serves as the head of state of Porlos, however, unlike the Tierradorian monarch, the role of the Porlosi monarch is limited to ceremonial and representative functions. Under the provisions of the [[1991 Porlosi constitutional revisions]], the Woqala lacks any formal political power. The Woqala opens the annual [[Assembly of the Woqalate (Porlos)|Assembly]] session, chairs the [[Higher Council (Porlos)|Higher Council]] held during a change of Government, holds regular Information Councils with the [[Prime Minister of Porlos|Prime Minister]] and the Government, chairs the meetings of the Foreign Affairs Council (Soqweux: Akaahaliinapaa), and receives diplomatic credentials of foreign ambassadors to Porlos and signs those of Porlosi ambassadors sent abroad. In addition, the Woqala pays state visits abroad and hosts those incoming.

The Porlosi road network consists of about 105,261 kilometers of total roads, with 77,522 kilometers being paved and 2,400 kilometers being [[Autoosorouutaiki]] motorways. Porlosi roads follow a hierarchy, in the order of Autoosorouutaiki (motorway), naasikoleeki (national), qoyyalaatisiai (provincial), and parsahikaataai (parish). The Autoosorouutaiki system was established in 1957 by Woqala [[Dausi I]], and with foreign funding from Tierrador and Ceylonia, the motorways were steadily built over the course of 40 years. They are used almost daily by logistics companies and Porlosi citizens who wish to travel to and from different cities, with the purpose of reducing heavy traffic by implementing exit ramps rather than intersections or roundabouts. Naasikoleeki roads follow a similar path to the Autoosorouutaiki system, but are mostly two-lane, evolving into dual-carriageway routes only in large cities, such as Pacuí and Naqili.
